£7 + postage (For rates see top of distro page. Two CD’s cost the same postage as one)

Aphelion Productions is proud to announce the upcoming release of NIDHOGG – s/t demo on vinyl in co-production with Shunned House of the Netherlands and CD (Aphelion exclusive release).Both formats will be released on the same day!

Please read the press release below from Shunned House who has undertaken a lot of work on this release.Hats off to Jeroen of Shunned House and Nidhogg for all their efforts! If possible please don't contact us regarding this until closer to release date.More news will follow as November approaches.Thank you!

The 12″ EP will contain 4 tracks carefully restored from the 1994 master tape. The demo was written and recorded by NIDHOGG at Gamlebanken in Akkerhaugen with the help of session musicians, but never got released or spread. Twenty years later he found the tape in his archives and we set out to restore it to it’s full glory. We’ve been working hard with NIDHOGG to make it sound just right and with Aphelion to give this material the proper release it deserves.NIDHOGG’s demo material is a true relic from the days of Norse Metal, a monument to the ancient Norse mythology and it’s majestic nature. Essential for all fans of Norse Metal and his work with SORT VOKTER and ILDJARN-NIDHOGG.

The demo will be released in a limited edition of 500 gatefold 12″ vinyls : A special edition limited to 100 on white vinyl will come with a NIDHOGG logo patch, the remaining 400 are on black vinyl. The gatefold features stunning photography of the ancient Norwegian burial site of Mølen. The 12″ is an co-production between Shunned House and Aphelion : a CD version will be released exclusively by Aphelion at the same time as the vinyl version.

Expected release date is November 2014. We are now in the process of final mastering.

BONESAW / HAEMOPHAGUS "Split" CD

Sicko alliance of Scotland and Italy's finest dealers in old school death and destruction.All new material from both bands. Vinyl version will follow later in the year.

DISTRO UPDATE:

SPECIAL OFFER UNTIL 14/5/11
Any order over £20 = 10% off
Any order over £60 = 15% off
Any order over £100 = 20% off

Czech Republic's SEKHMET releases "Opus Zrudy", their third full length. There are no keyboards, no Gothic influences, no female vocals, no atmospheric stuff, just good old Black Metal. The most notorious influences present in "Opus Zrudy" are drawn from the early full on speed attack of DARKTHRONE and the evil vibe of early BATHORY, even though SEKHMET's song structures are more complex than the aforementioned bands. Production wise, the album has that thin demo feeling from the 90s, not heavy enough, yet a 'signature' sound for the genre. Surprisingly, the mix is really clean and you can listen to every instrument. The vocals are just high enough, shifting from the usual shriek to a hoarse grunt in some passages. The rhythm foundation, bass and drums, works really well as the backbone for the guitars' minor scale riffing. To sum it up, this is a solid 'oldschool'
(am I allowed to say that?) Black Metal album from SEKHMET. Recommended. By the way, there is a cover version of DARKTHRONE's
'Under A Funeral Moon' included as a bonus track.

THUGNOR “Scrolls of Grimace” CD
Brand new album with an hour of atmospheric doom of the highest order.Features JA of Decayed.

Sekhmet “Opus Zrudy” LP should be back from the plant in about 2 weeks. Doomed and Funeral LP's will be out in March and then the onslaught of new vinyls and a few CD's will continue right through 2011!

Been back for a while but it took a bit longer to catch up with things than expected.Please note the snow here means very little if any mail is getting in or out for for the moment and the post office is only open for a couple of hours a day at most so expect delays.With any luck the thaw will come as predicted at the end of the week and things might get back to normal.

18/11/10
Closed for a few days.Emails will be dealt with and distro updated early next week.

12/10/10
